that's how I started off. I tried to cook potatoes once and well, I forgot that they were boiling already, went to take a shower (as they take about 30 minutes to get ready) and when I came back, the kitchen was full of smoke and the potatoes were black. ^^Gin0915 wrote:Lol, me too, I'm a disastrous cook. I have managed to set paper towels, cloth towels and pans on fire many times, one pot with only water in it (my husband's still puzzled about that one). He practically forbid me to use the stove when he's not home, lol. I wish I wasn't so anti-talented because I love experiencing all kinds of cuisines. Thankfully my husband can make anything. I love baking and do it quite often, pastries and breads--bread in the US tastes like cardboard unless one is lucky to have the one good bakery near by --but then it's insanely expensive.geekinthepink wrote:my boyfriend would literally burn the house down if he'd try to cook. but I meant - as jonathan is the chef in their relationship - he would know how to cook rice. it's not rocket science as you said before. anna used to cook more often before they had emilia. everything she does now is making crappy cupcakes and soup that's a fail. great housewife. I wonder if she's talented at ANYTHING.proudmama wrote: When my husband and I first started dating, he didn't know how to cook rice I taught him how though It's really not rocket science. Either Anna or Jofatty needs to learn how to cook so they can function as normal adults. They're home all day long so they have no excuses for not learning. Maybe if that troll gnome would put down his Call of Duty game for once, he could actually learn something useful.
But I can follow a recipe, read directions and search the internet, (duh, LeDofuses!).
luckily, I know how to read recipes and use google (as you said). If I follow recipes, everything turns out great usually. I stopped eating canned food or microwave shit. and I force myself to cook something nice every weekend. today I made a rice dish with mince, bell peppers and zucchini/courgette. it's not only the cooking, it's the "I feel proud" effect when it turned out very tasty. everyone needs a little success now and then also, it's so much healthier. you know the ingredients you've put in and you can be sure that no crap is in there.
